Nightly News is sci-fi free. You need to give it a chance before you sign up fully for Punchy's clique that I shall not name.

Great! Now everytime I read the FF I'm going to be hearing William Shatner's voice when I read The Thing! Thanks for that!

I love Hickman's Secret Warriors and S.H.I.E.L.D. books but I couldn't get into this before. Even when I skimmed through the issues at the store there was nothing in them to draw me into buying them. But I decided to give this bagged book a chance to see if it was worth revisiting the whole run.

Nope. Not that its a bad book, it just felt mediocre. To give each subplot a concise review:

The Reed story was rushed to the point the Maestro appeared and disappeared as fast as he appeared for no other reason than to give a massive "screw you" to the protagonists.

The Sue Storm story went from Namor killing the old Atlanteans to them saying "Dude, you translated the old language! In our new language Sue is our queen rather than a sacrifice!". Umm, right....

The Ben/Johnny/Kids vs the Annihilation Wave AKA the death scene: Underwhelming considering the build-up. The death wasn't really shocking with gore like say...Ares was. Johnny was just covered in swarms of Annihilus bugs and we cut to a scene of Ben consoling the kids. Kind of weak and the lack of an actual body took away from the impact. The best story of the book but it didn't pack the punch this months hyped death was supposed to.

Artwise, Epting was solid as always. But the story was a mashup of varying quality shorts.

I don't know who this Herald person is... but he sounds like a fine outstanding young man.

Aquaman is King of the seas, and as of now calls on undead sea creatures to do his bidding... He uses a fucking zombie shark to kill... KILL terrorists and then crushes their boat with a Kraken, which is also Zombie class.
